Tell me how to save my soul again If i make a promise can i still pretend To wash it all away 'til the river is empty No one ever tells you how still life can be We're alone when the lights come on Try it again to see this through Never can remember what i have to do So i found some time to make this right Trying not to dwell upon the lonely nights We're alone when the lights come on Take me down to the river Tell me how to save my soul again If i tell a lie can i still pretend To wash it all away 'til the river is empty No one ever tells you how real life can be We're alone when the lights come on Take me down to the river
